About

A fast, rules‑based trader that flips between cash, long/short semiconductors, tech, and Treasuries. It uses simple signals: RSI (a 0–100 heat gauge), volatility spikes, bonds‑vs‑Nasdaq strength, and an inflation trend check to decide what to hold.
NutHow it works
Daily, it: 1) If fear jumps (a volatility fund’s RSI—a 0–100 “speedometer” of recent moves—is hot), park in cash (SHV). 2) If bonds look stronger than the Nasdaq (via RSI), take a cautious path; else, a bolder one. 3) Use semiconductor RSI to time turns: very hot → short semis (SOXS); very cold → long semis (SOXL); mid‑range → hold tech (XLK/TECL) and sometimes bet against long Treasuries (TMV) if inflation (RINF) trends up; otherwise use a defensive mix (PSQ/TLT/SHV).
CheckmarkValue prop
Diversified, rules-based tilt to semis/tech and Treasuries with volatility and inflation guards. Beta ~0.79 adds diversification; OOS return ~14.8%/yr with built-in risk controls, offering a complementary edge to SPY via regime-driven hedges.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
